Comparison of serologic features of at-risk individuals and recent onset arthritis patients

Compare at-risk individuals with recent-onset/early arthritis patients RTCure partners have already established well characterized cohorts of recent onset/early arthritis patients such as the TACERA, the Leiden Early Arthritis and the Scottish Early RA (SERA) cohorts, which provide an excellent possibility to compare the clinical, serologic and cellular features of patients who have recently moved into the inflammatory phase of the disease with those of imminent risk of developing the disease. Additional biobanks of recent onset/early arthritis patients from other RTCure partners (MUW, KI) provide valuable information of the serologic features of recent onset/early arthritis patients.
